Last night in Gatlinburg – Blogging in a dog friendly hotel!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and blogging in a dog friendly hotel in Gatlinburg lovers…..
Back when I was making reservations for our trip I was getting desperate for lodging in Gatlinburg. I finally found lodging that would take dogs over 30 pounds. Whew….
It is called the Midtown Lodge. When we pulled out today I made the comment, “well I guess the Midtown Lodge served it’s purpose allowing dogs over 30 pounds but not much more.”
I would call it a dump. The owners were rude and snobby. Howl can anyone be snobby to the Mayor?
Even the cabins in Asheville had internet access. This place only had access in the lobby. Since I was close to the lobby I was able to dip into the lobby’s hot spot via this location in my room but no where else…
I am sure there must be more places in Gatlinburg that take real dogs, dogs that have some meat on their bones! hehehe
I will never stay here again. Here is an ariel shot of the hell hole. I took it from the sky lift ride. It is the brown one in the front.
Grandma and I took a sky lift to the top of one of the Smokey Mountains.
It was scary fun! See the chair behind me?
Anyway, back to the bug infested, smoke alarm going off hell hole.
Here are the kids after I tucked them in. Sorry for the bad photos. It is almost like night vision….
I had them all covered up because the AC did not work and the air was pretty stale. I had the windows open and the mountain air was getting pretty cool. It just felt and smelled so good, plus I could hear the bluegrass band playing across the street. Ahhhhhhh mountain music! Just like Chaps and Emma howling;)
The kids slept really good the entire trip.
I was just glad to check out. I cannot tell you howl much I am looking forward to buying my mini RV.
More almost home later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
Some places have a lot of nerve claiming to be in the HOSPITALITY BUSINESS! Wish you would of had a better room, they must of been brainless acting that way to you and the Mayor.
I did a pretty scathing review on TripAdvisor.com last night. I also did a glowing review for our Motor Inn Court Cabins. I looked at those reviews before I left of the Midtown Lodge and they were 50/50. I just don’t get it or the owners are padding the comments. Imagine that!
hehehe

So sorry your last nite wasn’t so good. But looks like the sky lift was fun! So glad the kids slept well. I’m sure they were just fine with wherever they were as long as Mommy and Grandma were there. They look sooooo very comfy.
Cathy,
Thanks for all your travel trips and sharing your vacation holiday with us all, but I am sure that you are all looking forward to getting back home to all your comforts.
